It is freaking freezing out there. Only -20°C but -25°C with wind chill, yet it felt even colder. Maybe I’m not used to it? A friend and I met up at a cafe both new to us which required a bus route that had me stand outside a bit, but the real kicker was when I thought I’d walk a few blocks down to a nearby makeup store afterwards seeing that I was in the area, only to discover that it closed early due to weird post-New Year semi-holiday-for-them-still hours. Damnit! That is literally the third time I tried going to an establishment in that area only to discover that something closed early or wasn’t open that day at all.

So, why am I yapping about this? This meant having to be outside even longer trying to walk back to catch a bus, and despite wearing thermal gloves, my fingers were freezing and starting to hurt. Once I got on the bus, the pain got even worse as they were thawing out. Geez. What would happen in -40°C weather? Which I experienced much more often as a kid in the countryside? Once I got home, I felt like a steaming hot cup of tea, something soothing, so I opted for this. It totally hit the spot with that toasty rice and broth-like mouthfeel. Thank you for scaring off the frostbite, genmaicha!
